1932 Map of Lac Des Allemands SE
USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
Bayou Boeuf meanders through the wetlands of southeastern Louisiana in this 1932 field-examined survey, showing a landscape defined by its intricate network of natural waterways and early drainage canals. The presence of St Lawrence Ch and the small settlement of Roux along the Southern Pacific railroad line illustrates the concentrated nature of habitation on the higher ground of the cheniers and natural levees. Large-scale land management is evident in the straight cuts of the Bowie Canal, Midway Canal, and Godchaux Canal, which pierce the marsh toward Lake Boeuf. This survey captures the region just as modern infrastructure like U S Highway No 90 was beginning to follow the established rail corridors, bridging the gap between Lafourche Parish and ST Charles Parish near the waters of Bayou Des Allemands.
